"I'll See You in My Dreams" is a popular jazz and dance standard with music by Isham Jones and lyrics by Gus Kahn, published on 19 December 1924 by Leo Feist, Inc. Isham Jones conducted Ray Miller's Orchestra, with a vocal chorus by Frank Bessinger, in the recording made at Brunswick in New York on 4 December 1924. Released on Brunswick 2788 in February 1925, it was backed by "Why Couldn't It Be Poor Little Me". Early 1925 versions came from Marion Harris, Paul Whiteman, Ford & Glenn and Lewis James, and Hawaiian steel guitar pioneer Joseph Kekuku also recorded one.
The song gave its title to the 1951 film "I'll See You in My Dreams", a musical biography of Gus Kahn, and Jeanne Crain had sung it in "Margie" (1946). Bing Crosby, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and others recorded it, and Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys played a Texas swing version. Django Reinhardt and the Quintet of the Hot Club of France recorded it, and it inspired a guitar instrumental by Merle Travis. Pat Boone's 1962 version reached no. 32 on the US Hot 100 and no. 27 in the UK.
